Cuisine Japanese
- 200 g skinless salmon, diced
- 1 tbsp Kewpie mayo
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- Nori seaweed sheets, cut to fit your muffin tin
- 200 g cooked steamed rice preferably sushi rice or short-grain rice
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Chilli mayo, for drizzling
- Sesame seeds and chopped spring onion, for garnish
In a bowl, combine the diced salmon with Kewpie mayo, sriracha, and soy sauce. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
Cook the rice using your preferred method. While the rice is still warm, stir in the vinegar and sugar mixture (tip: warm the vinegar slightly to help dissolve the sugar more easily).
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Spoon and spread a layer of rice onto each piece of nori, then gently press the rice-covered nori into the muffin tin to form a cup shape.
Top each rice cup with a generous spoonful of the marinated salmon.
Bake in the preheated oven for around 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
Once out of the oven, drizzle with chilli mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped spring onion. Serve warm and enjoy!
